With Daniel Farke keen to bolster his squad ahead of a crucial Championship season, Longstaff has emerged as a priority target for the Whites.
Talks between the two clubs are said to be progressing well, with only minor details left to be resolved before the deal is finalized. Sources suggest that personal terms have already been agreed, and a medical could take place within days, paving the way for an official announcement.
Longstaff, 26, brings valuable Premier League experience and midfield solidity to a Leeds side looking to push for automatic promotion back to the top flight. Known for his composure on the ball, vision, and work ethic, he would be seen as a statement signing that adds both quality and leadership to Farke’s squad.
The midfielder made over 100 appearances for Newcastle and played a pivotal role in their recent campaigns. However, with competition for places increasing at St. James’ Park, a move away now offers him regular first-team football and a central role in Leeds’ promotion ambitions.
Leeds United have been active in the transfer market, already securing key signings to strengthen depth across the pitch. The potential arrival of Longstaff would further underline the club’s intent to bounce back to the Premier League at the first attempt.
Fans at Elland Road will be excited by the news, with many viewing Longstaff as an ideal fit for the club’s high-tempo style. If the deal is completed as expected, Longstaff could be unveiled before Leeds’ next pre-season friendly, marking another big step in the club’s rebuild.
